ANADIGICS, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANAD), a leading supplier of wireless and broadband solutions, today announced that the Company is shipping production volumes of a new indium gallium phosphide heterojunction bipolar transistor (InGaP) power amplifier (PA) for 450 MHz CDMA applications. This high performance PA module provides handset manufacturers with a low-power quiescent current mode that is digitally controlled to reduce power drain on the system battery, resulting in additional talk time. "The AWT6136 expands our broad CDMA product portfolio to cover the emerging 450 MHz CDMA 1X / 1xEV-DO markets in Europe and the greater Asia-Pacific regions," said Dr. Ali Khatibzadeh, Vice President of Wireless Products at ANADIGICS, Inc. "CDMA 1X / 1xEV-DO in the 450 MHz band offers an extremely attractive business model to operators for delivery of mobile and fixed-wireless services including high-speed internet access. Our strategy of addressing the market with best-of-breed products and tier-one chipset reference design partners is yielding successful results." ANADIGICS' AWT6136 CDMA PA modules exhibit excellent efficiency and linearity with a typical efficiency of 37% at 29.5 dBm output power. The PA module features a low receive-band noise of -132 dBm/Hz at 10 MHz offset. The CDMA 2000 1XRTT compliant AWT6136 comes in a 6 mm by 6 mm by 1.5 mm laminate package. This module utilizes ANADIGICS' InGaP HBT technology, which offers higher linearity, lower temperature sensitivity, and increased reliability compared with AlGaAs technology. The AWT6136 is priced at $2.30 in quantities of 10,000 units. Samples are available.
